If the financial risk score is 51 or more you will receive a pass for this assessment. If the score is less than 51 or no financial risk score is available we will contact the Tenderer and seek further information. We will then use this further information to assess the Tenderer's level of financial risk. If this assessment identifies an unmanageable risk (i.e. it is unacceptable) the Tenderer will fail this assessment. In the event that the Tenderer does not meet the financial criteria above, they may still be considered via some form of other assurance e.g. Parent Company Guarantee providing parent has a financial risk score of 51 or more) or a performance bond.
